Montemuro, Mountain chain and protected area in Norte and Centro regions, Portugal
The mountain range stretches between the Douro River in the north and the Paiva River in the south, reaching an elevation of 1382 meters at its peak.
The mountainous territory shows evidence of human settlement dating back to the Iron Age, with numerous villages spread across its slopes up to 1100 meters.
Local shepherds maintain the tradition of driving their flocks to mountain pastures from early July until Saint Bartholomew's Day, preserving ancient pastoral practices.
The Montemuro Mountain Bike Center offers 302 kilometers of trails across nine routes, ranging from beginner-friendly green paths to challenging black tracks.
Portuguese geographer Amorim Girão designated Montemuro as Portugal's least explored mountain range, featuring both sparse mountain terrain and rich river valley landscapes.
